THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 45. Quaint Modes and Other Modes of the Day REMINISCENT OF OLD STYLES. Some of the Summer Blouses There is a pretty revival of certain good old styles, for instance the old-fashioned bertha or fichu is an article of dress that one can but approve. It finishes off the costume, allows one to wear a thin summer dress without the addition of a wrap. Most dresses look unfinished on the street if no wrap is worn, but the fichu takes the place of boa or coatue, or whatever the frivolous pretense of outdoor apparel. Other good points belong to the fichu; it may be added to an old frock and quite redeem it; it looks so modest and dainty, when made of lawn and well shaped; it hides defences and the figure. Usually with it deep girdles should be worn a narrow belt and a fichu are not in harmony. It is very effective as part of a flowered muslin costume, then very like the gowns grandmamma wore, wherefore picturesque and pliquant, giving the modern young woman some flavor of the stately days of old. The Empire modes are assuredly quaint—when they are not impossible. And the mob caps, the lingerie hats, generally becoming as well as picturesque. By the way, at the shops you ask for a wash hat, and what are you apt to be shown? One of those hideous things of stiff frame, huge sailor effect, with all-over embroidery drawn tight over brim and crown, and the trimming as stiff and ugly as the rest of the make-up. If you really want a lingerie hat, you must inquire for children's wash hats; from among them make your selection. But there is a sufficient variety, a lot of pretty ones to choose from. I examined them the other day, and though de- A notable change in the lingerie blouse of to-day is that not a few are made with a low neck; even on the street one sees the Dutch neck, and even a lower cut. For house wear this is pretty, but not at all suitable for general public gaze. Of course with the low blouse is worn some ornamentation on the bare neck THE LOW-NECK IN FAVOR. —this the day of beads and chains and shell necklaces, etc.—and various sorts are noticed. The smc Roman pearls are pretty, a black velvet ribbon with small pendent attractive, and the tinnest gold chain with accompanying tiny locket dainty. The other day we saw a young, dark-eyed woman whose soft fluff of hair was prematurely gray gave her an air almost worth the premature whitening of the dark locks—and with her white mull flouse cut with a round Dutch neck she wore a string of large amber beads. Effective, a happy touch. Her friend, a brown-haired girl with eyes of gentian blue, likewise wore a thin white, and her only ornament was the most delicate chain of blue beads, a flat chai In Union There is Strength. pressed by the prices was enamored of the prettiness. There were big flopping piques elaborately braided, around the crown some soft folds of pale blue liberty silk drawn and a great bow a little to the right in front. Then there were hand-embroidered blue linens, their trimming white silk. Fussy affairs of chiffon did not appeal to me, I much preferred the kind that were really washable—having such a horror of unclean finery, which every fastidious person must have who lives in a big dirty town. The all-over embroidery hats were charming, about the edge of the hat a dainty frill of lace. Then there were chapeaus of innumerable frills of lace, but they, too, belonged with the too-fussy. The summer girl is much more attractive in the simple and neat than in the over-elaboration. How pretty she looks of a morning coming down the avenue in her tub-frock of white linen, as erisp and fresh as can be. Her skirt is untrimmed, her waist a white tailored linen with lay-down collar, a handkerchief pocket at the left; the coat short, just to the waist line, the skirt sensibly, cleanly short. White shoes and stockings she wears, and up aloft floats a white linen parasol. In the afternoon this same costume may appear—for a white frock looks dressy no matter how simple—or she may wear one of those lovely new mixtures of silk and cotton, a distinctly 1906 product; the material comes in most delicate shades, and our summer girl wears this year only delicate shades, the streets are very gay with illias and pale grays, light azures and exquisite pinks. with tiny pendants here and there. The girl may have made it herself from some original design, and doubtless it was inexpensive, but certainly it was lovely. As we said before, there are many ways in which waisties are cut out at the neck. The one but slightly square is a pretty fashion; the one with a slight dip in front just below the chin, another style meeting with favor. The design shown here is that of a blouse with quite a deep cut, to be worn for dressy occasions. Lingerie blouses to go with accordion-plated suits are a feature of the day, and gives daintiness to the jaunty costumes. A new touch is the introduction of lace under mull, the trimming snowing through, looking shadowy and illusive, just the thing for the illusion-like waist. Of course all sleeves are short, and the way of finishing the neck may be followed in the finish of the sleeve. For instance, a blouse with a square neck edged with insertion will have a puffed sleeve with simple band of insertion, the sleeve stopping above the elbow, having no frill at the bottom. The surplice waist with low-cut V is pretty, and becoming to the woman with a plump neck. Many of the sleeves stop well above the elbow. One pretty silk bodice had a longish puff of a sleeve edged with rows of shirring and a frill, from inside the frill extended a close cuff of lace, the lace coming just to the elbow. Another waist had a similar sleeve, but the lace was omitted, the sleeve very short. Some of the blouses are accompanied by removable chemisettes; one may have at choice high neck or low. And of course this may be carried out in the sleeves, detachable undersleeves made use of. Almost all the summer frocks for young girls are made with short sleeves. One pretty model has a rather full sleeve confined above the elbow by up and down tucks, the frill tucking being a part of the sleeve, the tucks stitched just so far. And becoming to the round, girlish arm is the puff with insertion band a little above the elbow. There is also a neat sleeve, a sort of Bishop, which is three-quarter length. The smoother, all-round useful shirt waist should be made tall, or style with a long sleeve. ELLEN OSMONDE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 9. 1906. Boston, Mass.-Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Charles Street A. M. E. church, whose expulsion from a Pullman car in the south and the subsequent charge preferred against him by Principal W. H. Council, of the Huntsville (Ala.) Normal school, on whose invitation he went south to make an address at the closing exercises of the school, have occasioned considerable commotion, was too ill to meet his congregation at the regular services Sunday. He expected to make a statement from his pulpit and a large congregation gathered Sunday morning to hear it. He was too ill, however, to be at church, and instead sent a letter which was read by Rev. B. W. Arnett, of Pennsylvania, a son of Bishop Arnett, of Ohio, who filled the pulpit. The letter was as follows: "Boston, Mass., June 2, 1906. Bostom, mask, Jill 2, 1965 "To Me, Dear Church and Many Friends." "I am sending, by the hand of Chapla B. W. Arnett, who will occupy the pulpit to day, this word. I am very thankful to Almighty God, who has brought me back to you, at least alive, and I am thankful to you for the expression of your sympathy and affection, which have, indeed, been boundless. For four days since my arrival two physicians have been in attendance upon me, and I am still unable to leave my bed or to talk for any length of time. The physical violence I received, added to the insult and humiliation put upon me in my recent southern trip, have caused and are still causing me great suffering. The conflicting falsehoods you have read in the daily papers will, when I am able to be with you in person, be properly set before you, and with your co-operation and by the help of God, those who are responsible will be brought before our courts (for thank God, courts and not mobs rule Massachusetts) to give an rule and make proper amends. "Continue to pray for my recovery, may God bless you. Yours for Jesus sake. REVEREND C. RANSOM." Just Answered Polite Query. After service a statement from Rev. Ransom, the first in which his side of the story has been presented, was given: "Rev Ransom is still a very sick man, unable to leave his bed. He has not been able to make any extended statement about the matter, as his physicians forbid his talking about it at present. All that he has definitely said so far is that while on his way to Alabama he was sitting in a Pullman car with a traveling bag, which was covered with foreign baggage express labels, placed upon it while the owner was traveling in Europe. A woman who was on the train, noticing these evidences of travel abroad, asked him if he were a foreigner. He told her he was not, but that he had been abroad and had some knowledge of the European languages and countries. The woman then went her way, and Rev. Ransom thought no more of the meeting, but busied himself with getting the speech in order he was to make at the Alabama school. While thus engaged he came across some other speeches of his, and handed one of them to the colored porter of the Pullman car, who was near at hand, and so laughed to laugh, elicited him and addressed him with the words, "Ain't you a nigger" repeating the question several times, and adding some strong oaths in the southern vernacular. Not regarding the term "nigger" as his proper race appellation. Rev. Ransom did not answer the men. His attitude seemed to enrage the men, and with a fusillade of oaths they hustled and cuffed him the length of two cars, gathered up his baggage, which was some distance away, and pitched it against his stomach with such force that the effect of the blow has kept him under the care of two physicians, and part of the time three since his return to Boston. Ignored at Huntsville. "Notwithstanding this outrage, Rev. Ransom continued his journey to Huntsville, Ala., where he arrived at 2 a. m. Monday, and began trying to get into communication with W. H. Council, the colored principal of the Normal school, who had invited him there to speak. Council was nowhere to be found, but finally, about midday, sent two men to meet Rev. Ransom. They talked very indefinitely about his going out to the school, and he had begun to tell them of his experience on the train they said they had heard all about it, and then they declared they could not take him in the school campus. After much persuasion they conducted him to the outskirts of a lawn, where they left him until they could consult with Principal Council. The principal sent them back with a request to Rev. Ransom to leave the town at once and with money to pay his car fare. No reason for this treatment was vouchsafed at the time. Rev. Ransom left the place without being afforded an opportunity to eat and without seeing the man who had invited him to make the long journey from Boston. The story GAZETTE. about dining with a white woman and trying to pass himself off as a foreigner Rev. Ransom said, in conclusion, is pure fiction. He did not, he says, enter a dining car at any time during his trip." ETHEL ARCHER GRADUATES. Our Only Representative in a Class of Forty—Odd Fellows' Annual Sermon—Social—Personal and Other Notes.

Work on the building to be erected at the corner of Tweffell and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, as the national headquarters for our Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be commenced next month. The building will be of brick, stone, terra cotta and granite, five stories in height, and cost about $100,000. At Easton, Pa., a young white woman, neatly dressed, and an Afro-American walked into the office of Alderman Brunner and asked to be married. The alderman and others tried to persuade the young woman to give up the idea, but she declared she wanted to be his bride. The ceremony was then performed. The couple came from Broadway, N. J. A great university for the education of Afro-American youth will replace Roger Williams university at Nashville, destroyed by fire in 1905. The building of hard have been purchased and architects are preparing plans for the building. The new university will be under the management of the American Baptist Home Missionary society, and the buildings will cost $100,000. Prof. J. C. Carlin, of Pine Bluff, Ark, wrote recently: "Forty years ago the most distinguished landscape painter in the city of Cincinnati, O., was Mr. R. S. Duncanson, a colored artist. His most noted production was "The Land of the Lotus Eaters," subject from one of Tennyson's poems, printed for Mr. Nicholas Longworth, progenitor of the president's son-in-law. I remember going with 'Dunck,' as he was familiarly called, to see the picture in the Longworth mansion." Jas. Parker, an Afro-American who lives at Flushing, Long Island, N. Y., many years ago bought 15 acres of shore front property at Oakdale, not far from the country homes of William K. Vanderbilt and Frederick G. He paid $15 an acre for property, making $15 an installment of $2 each until he had obtained the title to the land. The recent boom in real estate on Long Island has brought many offers for his ropety, and Mr. Parker refuses to sell for less than $50,000. All are pleased with the appointment of Dr. Thirkield to the presidency of Harvard university. So great is his interest in our race that if any further trouble should exist between president and students it would hardly be laid at his door. We are reminded by the neglect to which Mrs. Thirkield was subjected while he was at the head of Gammon Theological seminary. Not a white woman called on her during their stay of 16 years at Atlanta.

The judge, on seeing what sacrilege was about to be committed in having a white man kiss the "Jim Crow" Bible, peremptorily stopped the proceedings, had the "illy white" article brought forth and presented to the witness and before explanations could be made, Prof. Johnson, who is a Negro but is as white as the other folks, had kissed the "illy white" volume and, of course, had damned it for all time to come!

The Associated Press liar at Chattanooga certainly "got busy" reporting the shameful mistreatment of Rev. R. C. Ransom, near Chattanooga, Tenn., last week. The senate conferees last week receded from what is known as, the Warner amendment to the railroad rate bill which provided that equally good service and accommodations should be given wherever there are "Jim Crow" car laws (in hte south) to all persons paying the same compensation for interstate transportation of passengers. The provision was stricken out of the bill. Senators Foraker and Dick did all in their power to assist in securing the elimination of the Warner amendment as requested by Ohio Afro-Americans TIME FOR ACTION The Warner amendment to the railroad rate bill and the discussion among our people it has provoked, have proved a splendid educator along the line of the rights of our people as inter-state passengers, especially in states that have "jim crow" car laws. The recent experience of Rev. R. C. Ransom with the obious Tennessee law will serve, we hope, to bring the matter to a head and cause a proper test to be made in the United States supreme court. While the several states of the Union, under more or less recent United States supreme court decisions, have a right to enact "jim crow" car laws for passengers traveling from one point to another within the state. It is a question as to the states' right to discriminate against inter-state passengers—those traveling from one state to another or others, and not from one point to another within the state. The concensus of opinion among leading statesmen and jurists, members of the upper branch of congress, is that no state has a legal right to discriminate against inter-state passengers as was done in the case of Rev. Ransom. However this all-important phase of the matter remains to be determined by the United States supreme court, and the sooner we secure such a judgment from that august body, the better it will be for those of our people who are compelled to become inter-state passengers in the southland. The great need of a "crystalized" national leadership is again exemplified in the total absence of any proper effort upon our part to not only solve this problem, but also that of disfranchisement in several if not all of seven southern states. OPPRESSED MASSES IN THE White republican leaders of the south are beginning to realize more sensibly than ever the shameful usurpation of the rights and authority of their party by the bourbon oligarchy. They see that majorities are largely dominated by the minority even in the face of a growing sentiment which every day offers a protest against the hypocritical representatives of those who have thwarted the popular will. They see the glaring contrast between the parties of the two sections in the exercise of their rightful authority and are started to find that white republicans of the south are handicapped and subordinated to a power that has ruthlessly usurped authority not just its own. Noisy at times in regard to the injustice done them, yet they are acquiescent in the presence of that democratic opposition which confronts them in time of heated elections. They understand the situation and they very well know that the masses of the people are in favor of free government and are entitled to republican government. They rule made subject to a minority rule despite warrants the right of free government. With no good reason, the masses and themselves suppressed, because their leaders dare not take steps to release themselves from the tyrannical hand of the usurper. While Gen. J. Warren Keifer and other brave men in congress are pleading their cause and are lifting the mask from their shameful, political strategy, there comes no word in agitation, no response in approval of the effort to restrain the growing spirit which threatens to dominate the national republican party of the country. But there is a determination more than ever to battle the ends of national justice and to bring the republican party north and south in abject submission to the dictation of southern minority and southern arrogance. At no time has this arrogance evinced itself more in the national congress than at the present. Emboldened on account of the spirit of toleration, southern democracy now openly boasts that the time never was more propitious for the election of a democratic president. Content that they have so far succeeded in their defiance of law and the usurpation of unwarranted authority, the leaders of democracy have pledged themselves to renewed aggression. The suffrage question is and will be the thing in agitation so long as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are nullified by any section of the country. White republicans of the south can never feel themselves free, nor stand as the peers in citizenship so long as these amendments are ignored by the democratic party. Nor would the democracy of the country consent to tolerate the outrages which the national republican party is called upon to endure. There is nothing then left for white republicans of the south and republicans in congress to do, but meet this suffrage issue and to see that it is settled at any cost, only that it is done upon fair and honorable terms. SENATOR JOSEPH B. FORAKER. Some weeks ago, word was passed along the line that an amendment proposed by Ex-Congressman George H. White and a committee appointed by a league in Washington would be offered to the rate bill by Senator Foraker, of Ohio. We gave the matter instant consideration and wrote our senators asking their support. We did not know what the nature of the amendment would be but supposed Mr. White who thoroughly understands the treatment we are obliged to accept at the hands of the railways, would draw up such a bill. We did not hate the hated un-American separate car shame. It seems that the committee satisfied itself with a pleasant talk with Senator Foraker without putting on paper its wish. The amendment was offered and defeated, but proposed anew shortly afterward by Senator Warner, of Missouri, at the instance of his Negro constituents. The Warner amendment which we are now put to the necessity of opposing teeth and toe-nail is the Foraker amendment which would never have been offered if Mr. White and his committee had acted with wisdom. --- We believe that the most of the senators really intended to help us. If Senator Foraker intended us ill, he has changed wonderfully from the days when he was freedom's foremost chieftain. The whole muddle is due to the blundering of White, Grimke and McCarthy. We are indulged when they met a senator's benignignant smile.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Senator Foraker is still "freedom's foremost chieftain" and the *Arro-American* best friend in the United States senate. He was the only one that could be secured to make an active fight in our behalf and was doing what he was asked to do, by supposedly leading members of the race north and south. In a letter to the editor of The Gazette under recent date in referring to the Foraker-Warner amendment to the railroad rate bill he wrote: "I had no thought except only to be helpful." Of course he hadn't. Nor could he have had. Senator Foraker is not built that way. He is no trimmer, either. Too big, brainy, broad-guaged and manly to be small in any way or anything. He has been our friend too long for those who know him to question or doubt him for a single moment. One thing more and that is, we do not retain friends of the race by misleading and then abusing them. There are only a very few, it is true, who show any such disposition, we are glad to say, but even a few are too many in this instance. As a race we need all the friends we can get. They are so few these days. Therefore be careful of those we have, and remember of all the republican members of the United States senate, one and only one, Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, could be secured to make an effort in our behalf. And he adopted a course in debate best suited to win the success leading Afro-Americanes particularly of the south, led him to believe we desired. Again do we remind our people that a "crystalized" national leadership is sadly needed and especially at Washington, D. C., during the sessions of congress. President Thirkield's Thanks.

From the City's Building Department Visits Hog Killing Plants—A Defense of the Packers. Chicago, Ill. — Building Commissioner Bartzen and 12 deputy building inspectors went to the stock yards Wednesday to make an inspection of every building in the place. The commissioner declared before leaving the city hall that he would compel the packers to correct every violation of the building ordinances that might be found. The first place visited was the hog plant of one of the large packing houses, and it was found that the stairways and fire escapes were not sufficiently ample for the number of employees. The owners of the plant were instructed to put from one to two stairways in all the buildings of the plant. They promised to do so. Commissioner Bartzen went to the hog killing department of one of the large packing houses, and described the conditions he found there as "filthy and dirty." He characterized the room as a "dirty hole, unfit for the uses to which it is put." From the hog killing department he went to the portion of the plant where cattle are killed and dressed. Here the walls were covered with calcine scarcely dry. After going through this building the commissioner left for the city hall. He said before leaving the stock yards that there is not a modern building in the entire district devoted to the packing industry. The majority of them, he declared, "are dilapidated, filthy and unfit for such use as is made of them." Helpless that he should be of the most thorough character and the work will not be completed inside of four or five days. Washington, D. C. — The house committee on agriculture on Wednesday day decided to comply with the request of the Chicago packers to be heard on the Nelll-Reynolds report regarding conditions in the Chicago packing houses. The request was made by Mr. Thomas E. Wilson, who said he was an employee of the Nelson Morris Co., but in this instance he was authorized to speak for all the Chicago packers. Before hearing Mr. Wilson, the committee notified the department of agriculture and Mr. Nelll. Secretary Wilson, Dr. Melvin and Mr. Nelll came to the capitol and the healing began. Mr. Wilson made a general denial of the existence of conditions in the packing houses as set forth in the Nelll-Reynolds report. He began by inviting the committee to come to Chicago and spend a week in personal investigation of conditions. Mr. Wilson took up the Beveridge amendment. He should very much prefer," he remarks, "if the date on the labels or cans might be omitted." HE KEPT ALL OF IT. Thousands of Dollars Were Sent to a Pennsylvania Railroad Employee by Coal Companies. Philadelphia, Pa. — That he accepted gifts of stock accounting to $11,000 and money aggregating more than $46,000 from coal mining companies during a period of about three years was admitted Wednesday by Joseph Boyer, of Altoona, clerk chief in the office of A. W. Gibbs, superintendent of motive power of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Boyer purchased the assets of those cooperatives of the company and the donors of the gifts were the coal companies which furnish the fuel to the railroad. Mr. Boyer named five companies which allowed him from three to five cents on each ton sold to the railroad company. He declared that he never asked for the allowance, but accepted it because he believed he was following a custom of the department. In fact, one of the coal company officials told him that he had paid it before he could continue paying it to the witness. Mr. Boyer he divided the money with any other official or employee of the railroad. He said he kept it all. A. W. Gibbs, Mr. Boyer's superior officer, on the stand said he was unaware that such conditions existed in his department. Mr. Boyer said he was at first disinclined to accept the money, but after thinking it over decided that he was doing nothing unusual. Congress. Washington.—On the 6th the senate spent most of the day in debate of the conference report on the railroad rate bill.

Halvorsen was killed, five persons were seriously injured and ten buildings were leveled by a tornado near Stodard. Wis., last night. The storm went over La Crossse. BUYING PAINT. Springtime—after the weather has become well settled—is painting time. There is no dust flying, no insects are in the air at that time ready to commit suicide by suffocation in the coat of fresh paint. The atmospheric conditions are also favorable at that season for proper drying and increased life of the paint. It should be a habit with every property owner every spring to look over his buildings, etc., and see if they need repainting; not merely to see if they "will go another year," but whether the time has not come for putting in the proverbial "stitch in time" which shall eventually "save nine." For one coat of paint applied just a little before it is actually needed will often save most of the paint on the building by preventing it from letting go and causing endless trouble and expense. Paint lets go because linen oil, which is the "cement" that holds all good paint together, gradually decays or oxidizes, just as iron exposed to air and dampness will slowly decay or oxidize. The water and oxygen in the air are the cause of the trouble in both cases, and the only reason, outside of its beautifying effect, that we apply paint to wood or iron is because we want to keep water and air away from them. Live paint, that is paint in which the linen oil is still oily, does this very effectually; but dead paint, that is paint in which the oil is no longer oily, is no more impervious to air and water than a single thickness of cheesecloth would be. If then we apply a fresh coat of oily paint before the old paint is dead, the oil from the new coat will penetrate the old coat, and the whole coating will once more become alive; and this method of renovation may go on indefinitely. This explains why it is better economy to repaint a little before it becomes absolutely necessary than a little after. When the paint is once dead the fresh coat will pull the whole coating off. In the days when repainting meant a general turning of things upside down, a two-weeks "cluttering up" of the place with kegs, cans and pails, a lot of inflammable and ill-smelling materials standing around, etc, the dread of painting time was natural. So was the dread of soap-making time, of shirt-making time, of candle-moulding time and the like. But we live in an age when soap comes from the store better and cheaper than we can make it, when shirts are sold ready made, for less than we can buy the materials, when we can burn coal oil or gas cheaper than we can make tallow candies, and when all we have to do when we want to repaint is to pick out our colors from the card at the store and pay the painter for putting on the paint. When it comes to picking out the paint it is not necessary that one should be a paint chemist, any more than one should be an oil chemist when buying kerosene, or a department store buyer when selecting shirts, or a soap chemist when buying soap. All that is necessary to insure a fair show is some knowledge of the character of our paint dealer and the reputation and standing of the maker of the paint offered. Nor must one expect to buy a pure linseed oil paint for the price of linseed oil alone. It can be taken for granted when anyone offers to sell dollar bills at a discount, he is baiting a hook for "suckers." So it can be taken for granted when anyone—whether mail order house, paint manufacturer or dealer—offers paint too cheap, he is bidding for the trade of "suckers," no matter what his promises. But paints sold in responsible stores under the brands of reputable manufacturers are all good products, differing from one another in the less important matter of the solid pigments contained, but practically alike in having their liquid portions composed essentially of pure lseed on. The competition of the better class of paints has driven inferior goods practically out of the market, and no manufacturer of standing now puts out a poor paint, under his own name at least. As to guarantees on paint, they can be taken for what they are worth. Any reputable manufacturer will make good any defect actually traceable to the paint itself and not to improper use or treatment of it. The really important guarantee which the paint buyer should exact from his dealer is that the paint is made by a manufacturer that knows his business and that the paint itself has a record. If he secures this guarantee he can afford to chance the rest of it—the paint will undoubtedly give good service if properly applied according to directions. Skiddoo The young man was trying to think of something else to say when the young woman suddenly spoke up. "By the way, Mr. Lingerong," she said. "I tried to call you up by telephone this morning, but I didn't get any response." "You tried to call me up by telephone?" "Yes; I wanted to ask you a question."

He Pitied Them A little boy was on his first country excursion, relates the Brooklyn Citizen. Some birds were flying high overhead, and his hostess, a young woman, said: "Look up, Tommy.

They ain't got no cages, have they?"—Detroit Free Press. Acknowledgement She—I love all that is grand, noble majestic and beautiful. He—Thank you very much, Miss Wilkins, but—er—really, you embarras me.—Stray Stories Our Pattern Department LADIES' FANCY BLOUSE.

During the recent visit of the First division of the North Atlantic squadron plans for entertaining Rear Admiral Evans and his officers were spotted by the sudden indisposition of "Fighting Bob." A party of ladies were exploring the flagship under the guidance of a grizzled quartermaster when one of them referring to the awkward circumstance, remarked inquiring, "I suppose you sailors are sorry that the admiral is sck?" "Indeed we are, mum," said the quartermaster, "But." lowering his voice confidently, "we all knew the old man was in for it when we saw him sampling the grub that's served out to us fellows for 'ard.' Electrician's Feat. To talk through a human body—or a row of human bodies, for the matter of that—is one of the weirdest of the electrician's feats. If a telephone wire be severed and the two ends be held by a person, one in each hand, but far apart, it is quite possible for a conversation to be carried on through the body, as readily and as distinctly as if the line had been properly connected. Drouthy Days Coming Years ago, it is recalled, Parton predicted that the coming man would neither smoke nor drink. The coming man has not yet arrived, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. But if the coming man will neither smoke nor drink the indications are that it will be because the coming woman will leave him nothing to smoke or drink.

The preliminary examination of George East, the Afro-American charged with killing Edward Klein, a Lorain street saloonkeeper, was postponed in police court Monday to June 8 on account of the physical collapse of East when told that the charge against him was first degree murder. When he entered the court room Monday he was ignorant of the fact that Klein died early in the morning. He shrieked and fainted when told the news and was unable to confer with his attorney. The Men's Auxiliary entertainment for the Old Folks' Home at St. John's church May 30 was a treat, every number on the program being enced. The concert June 4 by the Helping Hand society was quite a financial success. Only about half of the barrels were brought in. No prize will be awarded until all are in. Mrs. Collins had $17.75 in her barrel, the barrels were taken from those turned in. From ten-cent tickets $11 was received at the door. It is hoped to realize about $200. Mrs. Geo. W. Scott, who has with Mr. Scott spent the winter in southern Florida at Winter Haven, was in the city a few days the first of the week, called on The Gazette and related a number of her and Mr. Scott's very interesting experiences with the "Crackers" of that section and the better class of people of both races. The Florla "Cracker" (white) is, if possible, a little more hardened and ignorant than the Georgia "Cracker." Of course, the people of Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Thompson, excellent people of this city who have large landed interests in and near Winter Haven, Fla. Messrs. Harry W. Ervin and Ed Bowman have opened the Dainty ice cream parlor at 580 Central avenue, between Laurel and Sterling avenues, and are furnishing-high grade candies, cigars, race papers, and the very best ice cream and soda water. Their opening last Saturday night proved an exceptionally successful affair. All lady visitors were given roses and the gentlemen cigars. They have decidedly the most beautiful neighborhood, and ought to be liberally patronized by all of our people. Call your friends attention to Ervin and Johnson's new departure in business. They will keep open late at night to accommodate balls, parties, etc. A disappearing Afro-American mystified the police Saturday morning. His identity still is a mystery. At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon Patrolman Summer heard a noise at the corner of E. 9th street and Hamilton avenue N. T., He hurried to the spot only to see the form of a man disappearing in the distance. The man next was seen in front of the county morgue, stretched out apparently lifeless. William Cassidy, the morguekeeper, and a night watchman hurried to the supposed dead man. They found three knife wounds in his body. They called Hogan & Co's ambulance. But with the clang of the bell as the ambulance drove up came memories of the patrol wagon, and the "corpse" arose. It ran. Patrolman Summer again saw it vanishing in the distance. The 'ambulance left empty. Sunday was Old Folks' day at St. John's church. Carriages were sent for 28 aged members, 45 years ago. Gee & Wills and Boyd & Dean, our local undertaking firms, each furnished a carriage. in the morning Rev. Collins preached a special sermon. The stewardesses served them dinner, and in the afternoon they participated in a song and praise service of their own. It was remarkable to hear some of the old ladies sing, stand up and testify. Those present were: Mesdames Catherine Palmer, Francis White, Deillah Boyer, Elizabeth Baniey, Hattie Minton, Sarah Hunt, Elizabeth Minton, "Polly" Simmons, Elizabeth Bryant, Lydia Ewing, Anna Edwards, Anna Merritt, Mary Bell, Laura Williams, Mary Tucker, Sally Burkes, Kate Wright, Fannie Gray, Francis Sands, Mrs. Hill, of 550 Broadway; Emily Underwood, Charlotte Temple, Margaret Francis, Rebecca Washington, Mary Blake, Rosie Watkins, Subna Cinder and Mr. James Brown of the Old Folks' Home.

MAKE MONEYI THE NEW What proved the best delusion of the season was perpetrated upon the public by a nine year old lad of the race Tuesday afternoon. Over two hours people stood in the streets and back yards looking skyward at the "airship" supposed to be from Launa park. In fact it was so high above the ground that it did not get wet during the downpour of rain about 4 o'clock. It could be seen with the naked eye to dip and plunge, and with the opera glasses, the American flag could be seen floating above the "balloon." About dusk the "airship" began to settle rapidly in the neighborhood of Woodland avenue and Mayflower street to which point nearly a thousand people rushed. It appeared to be of enormous size, but when it reached earth was nothing but a red, the taffles, triangular paper about two feet long on the side and four yards of red, white and blue cheese cloth attached, giving it the flag appearance. Common white (wine) was used in sailing the kite and at times even the boy lost track of his kite. Groom 87 and Bride 75. Harvaysburg, O.—Mrs. M. S.

Everybody FAINTING SPELLS Cured by dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the Remedy Which Actually Makes New Blood. Anemia makes the patient short of breath so that there is often a sense of suffocation, sometimes there is a cough and the sufferer seems to be going into consumption, at others there is a murmur of the heart and heart disease is feared. In the following case severe fainting spells were an alarming symptom resulting from "too little blood." Mrs. George Forrester, of 7 Curtis street, Watertown, N.Y., says: "Some time I took a nap and left me in a very weak condition. I became worse and worse until finally I had an anemia. I lost flesh and appatite, had no color and was subject to fainting spells. Sometimes they would attack me suddenly and I would fall to the floor with hardly any warning. "I had one of our best physicians, but after he had been attending me about a year, any improvement in my condition did not, what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would do." "The pills were well known to me for, about two years before, members of my family had taken them with the best results. I soon found that the pills were just what I needed for I soon began to notice an improvement. After I had taken them a while longer I was unable to notice the all believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and recommend them highly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They do that one thing and they do it well. Impoverished blood is deficient in red corpuscles. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills increase the number of these red corpuscles and in this way seed health and strength to every tissue. Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail. Pink Pills or they will be paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. PERMIT WAS BROAD ENOUGH Mr. Linton Park, who is now an inmate of the Soldiers' and Sailors' home at Erie, Pa., was among those who joined in the chorus, "We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more." He enlisted at Washington, and was assigned to the Second District of Columbia regiment, relates Youth's Companion. Mr. Park was then, as now, a vegetarian. While he could assimilate everything connected with his answer to the call of duty from the stand of patriotism, he could not assimilate the army pork. It was plain that if the government wished to do the square thing by Park it would have to show broad-mindedness in the matter of rations. So he took his troubles to President Lincoln, and explained that in some respects he was like the children of Israel after they set out from Egypt. He could not forget the leeks and onions with which he was wont to regale himself back in Indiana county. Lincoln smiled. "You want me to turn you to graze like Nebuchadnezzar?" he asked. "It would beat salt pork," was Mr. Park's reply. Thereupon Mr. Lincoln carelessly on an ordinary sheet of paper: "The bearer, Linton Park, is herewith granted permission to browse wherever he chooses." Mr. Park saw the humor in the note, and enjoyed it quite as much as Lincoln did. He also enjoyed his privilege of "browsing." The note is still in his possession. **THOUGHTS FOR QUIET HOUR** Don't call the world dirty because you have forgotten to clean your glasses. If your religion is of the kind that can be easily hidden it can as easily be lost. The only reason some men won't go to the church is because they are not invited into the pulpit.

A gentleman and his wife were sitting in one of the front rows in a theater. On the floor the man saw a large hat-pin with an amber head. The Chicago Daily News tells what he did with it. Looking about him, he saw that two women and their escorts had just sat down. To one of the women he presented the pin. A shake of the head indicated that he had made a mistake. Then he tried two ladies across the table. They seemed to be interested. The pin was a curiosity, and its amber color.

HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER Story is told of the late John Hay illustrative of that fine diplomatic temperament that made his name know all over the world, says the American Spectator. Some years ago Mr. Hay sent Mr. Alexander Gunn, of Cleveland, for his perusal the manuscript of an interesting bit of work by Mark Twain, entitled, "A Conversation as it was at the Social Fireles in the Time of the Tudors." Mr. Hay knew that his friend Gunn, a connoisseur of literature and art, would be much interested in what the former termed a "serious effort to bring back our literature and philosophy to the chaste, Elizabethan standard." Now it appears that Mr. Gunn was so delighted with Twain's sketch that he wrote to Mr. Hay proposing to print a limited number of copies thereof for private distribution. It is said that Mr. Hay replied as follows: "The proposition you make to pull a few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is highly attractive, and, of course, highly immoral. I cannot properly consent to the suggestion, as I am afraid the great man would think I was taking an unfair advantage of his confidence. Accordingly, I will thank you to send back the manuscript as soon as possible but if, in spite of my prohibition, you take those proofs, save me one." It was superfluous to add that, with this hint, the proofs were "pulled"—one for Mr. Hay and one for Mr. Gunn. PADEREWSKI'S BELLBOY Musical Youth Made a Hit with the Great Planist by Playing His "Minuet." Rosamond Johnson, of Cole & Johnson, composers of that once popular song, "Under the Bamboo Tree," once held a position as bellboy in Young's hotel in Boston. This place, says Success Magazine, he once nearly lost, through taking the liberty of playing Paderewski's "Minuet" for the great pianist. Paderewski, who was staying at that hotel, had rung for a bellboy, and young Johnson answered the call. Being so fond of music, he made bold to ask the great composer and pianist to play the "Minuet" for him. Paderewski could not understand English then, and the boy thought from his gesticulations that he wished him to play it. So he sat down at the piano and commenced playing. Paderewski's manager happened to enter the room just then, and, enraged at the bellboy's presumption, threw him out of the room and went directly to the management and had him discharged. As soon as he learned what had been done, Paderewski, who had been pleased with the lad's playing, sent him to the club. He and Johnson reinstalled in his position.

An old soldier, released from coffee at 72, recovered his health and tells about it as follows: "I stuck to coffee for years, although it knitted me again and again. "About eight years ago (as a result of coffee drinking which congested my liver), I was taken with a very severe attack of malarial fever. "I would apparently recover and start about my usual work only to suffer a relapse. After this had been repeated several times during the year I was again taken violently ill. "The Doctor said he had carefully studied my case, and it was either 'quit coffee or die', advising me to take Postum in its place. I had always thought coffee one of my dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the Doctor's decision, for I hadn't suspected the coffee I drank could possibly cause my trouble. I thought it over for a few minutes, and finally told the Doctor I would make the change. Postum was procured for me the same day and made according to directions; well, I liked it and stuck to it, and since then I have been a new man. The change in health began in a few days and surprised me, and now, although I am seventy-two years of age, I do lots of hard work, and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day besides loading and unloading the wagon. That's what Postum in the place of coffee has done for me. I now like the Postum as well as I did coffee. "I have known people who did not care for Postum at first, but after having learned to make it properly according to directions they have come to like it as well as coffee. I never miss a chance to praise it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

On the floor the man saw a large hat-pin with an amber head. The Chicago Daily News tells what he did with it. Looking about him, he saw that two women and their scars had just sat down. To one of the women he presented the pin. A shake of the head indicated that he had made a mistake. Then he tried two ladies across the disle. They seemed to be interested. The pin was a curiosity, and its amber of a unique carving. They hesitated, but handed the pin back. Desperately, he began the search anew. Two ladies unattended seemed likely owners. To them also he showed the pin. They took it and enjoyed its pattern. Just then the man felt a tug on his sleeve. It was his wife, and she remarked, "Why are you showing my hat-pin to strangers?" Blushing, he went over to the ladies, who were still looking at the pin, and explained. "It's my wife's pin," he said, but in such consciously guilty accents that the women handed it back with doubting smiles. DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR. Impossible to Get Employment, as Face and Body Were Covered with Sores—Cured by Cuticura. "Since the year 1804 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they were so bad that I wore worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to wear the body covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the chest. I was so scared to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure. Thomas M. Rossi, 200 Prospect Street, East Orange, N.J., Mar. 30, 1905." Willing to Oblige "Give me the city hall, please," said the lady to the conductor of the street car. "I should be glad to do so, madam," replied the conductor, who was a new man and had been greatly impressed by the rules of the company, which insisted upon employees being courteous and obliging. "I should, indeed, be glad to do so, but the lady over there with the green feather in her hat asked for the city hall before you got on the car.

Mark Casto was being congratulated on his gift of $1,500 from the Carnegie here fund for bravery in the wreck of the Cherokee, relates the New York Tribune. "The gift was unexpected," said Capt. Casto with a modest smile. "It was as unexpected, though by no means as unpleasant, as the retort that a wife made to her husband when he came home at three o'clock in the morning. "The man came home very quietly. In fact, he took off his shoes on the front doorstep. Then he unlocked the door and went cautiously and slowly upstairs on his tiptoe, holding his breath. "But light was streaming through the kephole of the door of the bed room. With a sigh he paused. Then he opened the door and entered. "His wife stood by the bureau fully dressed. "I didn't expect you'd be sitting up for me, my dear," he said. "I haven't been," she said. "I just came in myself." SCINTILLATIONS Double dealing ends in divided divides.

A CRITICAL PERIOD INTELLIGENT WOMEN PREPARE Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near without reason? How many men realize that the most critical problem in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without reason? If her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dizziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pitation of the heart, sweating, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. E. G. Hyland, of Chestertown, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham, says: "I had been suffering with a displacement for years and was passing through the change of life. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headaches, and was very nervous, and I was treated with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman." For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to work with Lydia Lynn, Mass she is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful to ailment women. SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills.
